So far we have had several purple martins check out the T-14.  The birds have landed on the house, entered each hole (14) and made quite a bit of martin chatter!  The picture to the right is a sub adult male that was attracted to our T-14 by the decoys he is perched next to and the purple martin dawn song recording playing in the background.  This martin visited our house for about 3 days and then moved on.  Our best guess as to why this martin did not nest here was due to his inability to attract a mate other than his plastic buddies!

We hope this martin will come back to see us next year and find a girlfriend! Click on Picture to enlarge!
